After defeating the Kings and returning to No. 1 in the West, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles overnight.

The next night, the Lakers hosted the Clippers back-to-back.

89-91, also because of the hard work of the days and back-to-back schedules, the Lakers played the Clippers, a weak team in the West, and it was difficult to distinguish until the last minute.

Fortunately, they still won, and the Lakers finally took advantage of this battle to stabilize the first place in the West.

Then, on January 19, the Suns returned to the Staples Center.

Because the inner line of the sun is relatively weak, Xiao Si is relatively brittle, and he was injured not long ago.

For the Lakers, who now have O'Neal in charge, they naturally can't get any bargains.

88-102, the Lakers won again with a huge advantage of 14 points.

However, in this game, Doon seems to have reached a physical bottleneck and hit the so-called rookie wall.

He shot 8-of-21 from the field, 1-of-5 from three-point range, and 3-of-6 from the free-throw line.

Fortunately, he still relied on simple balls and bench scores, and finally got 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

Overall, with the help of O'Neal to attract defense on the inside, even if Doon is not in shape, the situation shown in the data is not too bad.

Of course, Doon himself was clearly aware that something was indeed wrong with his condition.

Even if I am in physiotherapy and maintenance after every game, I usually eat goji berries, abalone, sea cucumber and other nutrients, but it still seems that I can't keep up with the consumption of my body.

"Looks like I should be playing smarter on the court!"

After obtaining the Pippen template, Doon's physical fitness has also been strengthened, and because of the further defensive strength, Doon wants to create a character for himself that integrates offense and defense and become an NBA superstar in advance.

It's just that if you want to truly achieve the integration of offense and defense, it is not simple.

As strong as Maddie, he will also be unable to provide the team with stable scoring in the fourth quarter due to physical exhaustion, and will be forced to give up defense and concentrate his physical strength on the offensive end.

Garnett and Pippen are also offensive and defensive, but the offense is not as tough as the defense.

It can only be said that there is a give-and-take. There are still too few people like Jordan and Kobe Bryant who have unlimited physical fitness and are full of offense and defense, in the NBA.

Leonard is also offensive and defensive, but he is still affected by physical fitness, and he often rotates in the regular season.

After James had two championships with the Heat, he also began to save energy and reduce emissions.

Doon's current physical level is not enough, so he can only do a good job on the offensive end first and manage his own data well.

After all, the value of the defensive end is difficult to show in statistics.

Doon has a lot of game experience in his head and knows how to combine work and rest on the pitch.

I hadn't done that before, but Doon hadn't encountered the current physical bottleneck.

In fact, many players, including stars, will experience this kind of physical exhaustion as we approach All-Star Weekend.

The more obvious is the representative of health basketball - Andrew Wiggins, who is in good shape at the beginning and end of the season every year, and the month before the All-Star Weekend is relatively pulled.

Of course, the rest of the people are very stretched, usually with their average points dropping by four or five points per game and their shooting percentage dropping by four or five points.

Wiggins is down one or two points, his shooting percentage is down two or three points, and his daily scoring stats are still within the fluctuating range of Wiggins' constant.

It can only be said that Wiggins deserves to be the top pick in the draft, and he is better than the vast majority of NBA players just by playing casually with talent.

In a few years, Doon will be stacked with templates of various players, and he will be able to resemble Wiggins.

Talent alone can crush the vast majority of NBA players, even if you don't rely on the team system, you don't need to play smart balls and simple balls, you can easily slash the opponent's head by twenty or thirty points.

But for now, Doon still has to play smart.

The leveling has not been completed, and there are O'Neal and Kobe Bryant by his side, and the difficult ball will be handed over to them to deal with! A simple ball score is also a score, so why mind this one and that?

On January 21, the Lakers restarted their road trip, which also included a back-to-back on the road, which was undoubtedly another huge test for Doon's fitness.

Fortunately, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies in Memphis in their first game.

The Grizzlies are also in the playoff season this season, but they are still far from the Lakers.

O'Neal is not something that Gasol and Lorenten White can compete with, and Doon knows this very well, reducing some of his autonomous attacks and more passing the ball to O'Neal.

However, because the pace of the game under his command was also relatively slow, the score of the two teams was only 88-82 after the game.

Doon only got a double-double of 16 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists when he reduced his shooting and did not adjust his own state.

After winning against the Grizzlies, the Lakers set off overnight for Dallas.

Back-to-back fixtures are the toughest and as strong as O'Neal has also been affected by fitness.

As with the last back-to-back away game in Denver, O'Neal couldn't run after the first half.

The physical exhaustion of the Nuggets is due to climate problems, but the Mavericks are because the Mavericks are too good to run.

As the Maverick Troika continued to gallop on the field, as strong as O'Neill, the tyrannosaurus was about to degenerate into the king carp, becoming no temper at all, and directly turned into a salted fish and lay flat!

O'Neal only played half a quarter in the second half, and the Zen master saw that the difference between the two quarters and a half points was approaching 20 points, and O'Neal's difficulties really couldn't be overcome, so he chose to hand over the gun in the third quarter and gave up the game in advance.

As for Doon, he only played three quarters. However, thanks to the Mavericks this time, Doon scored more points than usual by switching offense.

With 26 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, he is the scoring champion of the Lakers. It's not an exaggeration to say that the Lakers lost and Doane didn't.

After losing to the Mavericks, the Lakers rested in Dallas for a day until the evening of the 23rd, when they left for Salt Lake City overnight.

The Jazz's record this season is okay, even though Malone and Stockton, the Utah duo, have left Salt Lake City one after another, and the Jazz, under the leadership of Sloan veterans, still have a 21-21 record in the West.

It's just that a 50% win rate won't make it to the playoffs in the West.

Recently, Jazz big man Kirilenko has also suffered from injuries.

Some people may ask, Kirilenko is a big boss, does he have this ability?

The problem is that under Sloan's direction, if Kirilenko doesn't get injured, the Jazz really have a chance to make the playoffs in the West.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Jazz is really unavailable.

Even if the Lakers are already a tired team, it is still not something that the Jazz can beat.

The Lakers relied on O'Neal and Doane to score 54 points and successfully defeated the Jazz on the road with a score of 89-83.

After the victory over the Jazz, the Lakers did not stay in the icy Salt Lake City, but returned directly to Los Angeles.

Because there were no games for the next three days, the vast majority of the Lakers' players were able to take time to rest.

But Doon can't, Doon still has to shoot a warm-up ad for Doon 1 with Nike.

The results of the third round of All-Star voting are in, and the Los Angeles All-Star Weekend will also be held in the middle of next month.

Now Doon has accumulated 1.275 million votes, surpassing Garnett with 1.273 million votes and Duncan with 1.219 million votes, ranking first in the West.

According to Nike executives to Doon, Nike will continue to help Doon collect more votes to ensure that Doon can participate in the Los Angeles All-Star Game as a Western All-Star starting forward.

One thing to say, the promotional videos of the first generation of Doon have been filmed, and Nike has prepared hundreds of thousands of pairs of sneakers, so it is naturally impossible to give up the best marketing opportunity of the All-Star Game.

Compared with spending millions of advertising dollars to promote the 1st generation of Doon, and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy All-Star votes, this marketing cost is not worth mentioning at all......
